Hello Caimans and Caiman Families!

What a week it has been.  Everything is starting to pick up  speed and we are seeing how our training is working for us! This last Friday night, we had a total of 12 athletes go to our second team bonder of mini-golf!  We had a great time and the weather was gorgeous!  I’ve posted a few pics on IG.- If you are not following us on IG it is caiman_aquatics

Then on Saturday, we went to our only invitational of the season.  It was a long day but we had some amazing swims! Lots of people qualified for CIF and we were able to experience prelims and finals.  The only other time we will have prelims and finals (which are when the top 16 swimmers make it back) is for League prelims (april 30) and League Finals (May 1).  But that is not all in one day.  Well done to all of the swimmers that went and competed.  Most made it back for finals and it was so much fun!  We also are increasing our team morale this year with something new and we started making those items this past weekend.  We will make more tomorrow at weight room.  If you did not finish the craft or were not there this weekend, feel free to come early to weight room on Monday so you can make at least two for the upcoming swim meet.  You can come anytime between 1:30-2:00 to complete the craft and weightroom will begin at 2:00.

We have our first swim meet this Wednesday against Esco Charter and our diver, Eden has her first dive meet the same day at Wagner Pool in Oceanside.  Good luck to Eden!

On Wednesday before the meet, I would like all of the seniors to be ready to take a picture for your senior poster.  I will also try to get individual shots this day of everyone on the team so I can use those for other things too. Group grade level pics too! If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
